adapted to hold the usual lipstick or other cosmetio stick material, and means for feeding the lipstick to a usable position. Disposed at one end of the lipstick and forming a handle therefor may be a tank or reservoir for perfume or other toilet liquid. Thetank may have a suitable spring-operated push valve, by means of which perfume may be dispensed, drop by drop. A suitable cap may be provided at each end of the device to close the lipstick holder and the perfume dispenser, to keep dirt and other impurities out, and also to add to the pleasing appearance of the device.

Various other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following particular description, and from an inspection of the accompanying drawings.

The invention also -consists in certain new and original features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.

Although the novel features which are believed to be characteristic of this invention will be particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto, the invention itself, as to its objects and advantages, the mode of its operation and the manner of its organizatlon may be better understood by referring to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming a part thereof, in which Fig. 1 is an elevational view of the improved toilet article;

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the device taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a detail of the lipstick holder, illustrating the construction thereof;

Fig. 4 is a perspective of the cap and pintle wire; and

Fig. 5 is a detail of one element forming part of the lipstick holder.

I n the following description and in the claims parts will be identified by specific names for convenience, but they are intended to be as generic in their application to similar parts as the art will permit.

. Like reference characters denote like parts 1n the several figures of the drawings.

Referring now to the drawing, the device 1s made up of a tube l forming the reservoir or tank for the perfume. This tube has a reduced cylindrical portion 2 at the lower end, and at its upper end is provided with an annular groove 3 and a threaded inturned flange' 4. Screw-threaded into the inturned flange 4 1s a valve plug 5, which comprises an outer sleeve 6 having an inturned flange 7 at its upper end, and a separate inner sleeve 8 suitably secured Within the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve 8 has a valve seat 9 at its upper end, and its lower end is turned in to provide an inturned flange 10. A valve may be provided comprlsing a spindle 11 and a disc 12 within the -inner sleeve 8, the disc co-operating with the valve seat 9 to close the tank. A coil spring 14 is provided between the valve disc 12 and the inturned flange 10 to resiliently hold the valve disc against its seat. Holes 13 may be provided in the inner sleeve 8 to insure free' communication between the reservoir and the inside of the sleeve.

It will be seen that the perfume may be dispensed by merely pressing the spindle with the finger and inverting the tank to allow the liquid to escape. The perfume may be applied to a handkerchief or the like by merely inverting the device and pushing the spindle against the handkerchief. The liquid perfume will be dispensed in limited amounts in this manner, the provision of but one opening connecting the inside and outside of the reservoir, insuring only a limited amount of liquid to be dispensed each time .the reservoir is inverted and the spindle an inturned ange 17 ending in an upturned 100 65 seen that a toilet cal side wall 21 and a flat top 22, a hinge knuckle 23 bein formed integral with the side wall. The inge knuckle 23 is disposed in the notch 16and in the annular groove 3, a pintle wire 24 bein threaded through the hinge 'knuckle and a o disposedin the an-` nular groove and held in position by the outer sleeve 15.

At the lipstick end of the device, a guide tube- 26 having a longitudinally extendin slot 27 therein frictionally itsthe reduce portion 2. At the lower end of the guide tube is an annular bead 28, below which is; an annular groove 29 forming a seat for a hinge knuckle and a pintle wire, as hereinafter 2o described. Seated within the guide tube is a carrier tube 30 seating a lipstick 31, as shown. Surroundin the uide tube 26 is a rotary sleeve 32 having a elical slot 33, as illustrated in Fig. 5. This sleeve 1s suitably made up by cutting a flat sheet of metal to the proper shape and rolling to the shape shown in Fig. 5. Thevcarrier member has a pin 34 which is disposed in both slots 27 and 33. Frictionally fitting the rotary l30 sleeve is an outer sleeve 35 whiclris flush with the outer sleeve 15, and which clears the bead 28 slightly. This outer sleeve has a lower, inturned flange 36 ending in a down-turned flange 37 and forming a seat 38 for the cap,

as shown.

40V pintle wire 41 of cap 39 seats in groove 29, and the outer sleeve 35 operates to hold the pintle wire in position. The outer sleeve 35 has a notch in which the hinge knuckle 40 is disposed, as explained in connection with the upper cap.

Thus it will be seen on rotating the outer sleeves 15 and 35 relatively, the carrier member 30 with its seated lipstick, may be moved to advance or retract the lipstick. The rotary sleeve 32 is confined between the shoulder 42 on the reservoir'tube and the bead 28. The outer sleeves 15 and 35 are generally cylindrical, and are free from upraised portions throughout their length, and' are substantially flush with the caps when in closed position, lendin a smooth, continuous, uninterrupted out e to the entire device when in closed position.

The reservoir acts as a handle for the lip- 00 stick and provides means for easily operating the li stick to advance and retract it. On the ot er hand, the lipstick holder provides a convenient handle or holding the device when dspensingdperfume. Thus it will be evice is provided, made up of a lipstick end and a perfume tank, which not onl co-act mechanicall with each other to pr uce a useful result, ut also co-act to provide a toilet article having a pleasing appearance.

It will be understood that the holder may bel used to hold other articles besides lipsticks, such as camphor sticks, combs, or other toilet articles. Similarly' the reservoir may be used.

to hold any kind o liquid or toilet substance which it may be desirable to carry and dispense.

While certain novel features of the invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it will be understood that various omissions, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.

What is claimed is:

1. A container comprising telescoping members, the inner member havin an annular groove, the outer member aving a notch, a cap having a hinge knuckle disposed in said notch, a pintle in said groove" and threading said knuckle, said outer member holding said pintle in said groove.

2. A container comprising a body made up of telesco ing tubes, a cap, means including a pintle disposed between said tubes for hingedly connecting said cap to said body.

3. A container comprising an inner casing capacitated to carry a toilet accessory, a second inner casing arranged end to end with the first casin nd frictionally secured thereto capacitate` to carry a toilet accessory, outer casings enclosing the inner casings and removable in opposite directions, each outer casing forming a handle for the container when the other outer casing is removed;

4. A container comprising an inner casing capacitated to carry a toilet accessory and having a reduced end, a second inner casin arranged end to end with the first casing and having a friction fit with the reduced portion of such casing, outer casings enclosing the inner casings and removable in opposite directions, and a cover pivotally secured to each inner casing.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

CHARLES N. CORYELL.
